Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5004,2962 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5004,2962 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 281,6315
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1774515
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1774515
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5004/281,2962/6315 is 2/1774515
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 281,6315 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(281,6315) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(281,6315) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(281,6315) = ( 281 × 6315 ) / 1
LCM(281,6315) = 1774515 / 1
LCM(281,6315) = 1774515
